[omniORB] Problem building omnipy2_develop from CVS

Hi,

omnipy2_develop does not seem to build out of the box.  Both README and 
ReleaseNotes seem to be dated.

I tried building with autoconf, it complains:

./configure
.
.
.
checking local Python configuration... looks good
checking for omniORB root... no
configure: error: You must specify the omniORB root directory.

Ok, fair enough:

./configure --with-omniorb /work/harri/omni/omni
configure: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target
configure: WARNING: invalid host type: /work/harri/omni/omni
checking build system type... Invalid configuration 
`/work/harri/omni/omni': machine `/work/harri/omni/omni' not recognized
configure: error: /bin/sh bin/scripts/config.sub /work/harri/omni/omni 
failed.

Now ./configure -help mentions build and host, but not what might be a 
reasonable parameter, -target is not mentioned.

I wonder if the autoconf support for omniORBpy is just not yet complete, or 
am I just missing the magic incantation?
